July 16, 20196 yr Hi guys. I’m finally ready to take the leap and move from DSM Synology DS1515+ to Unraid😁 I need your help to find a good app/plugin/docker to back up my entire Unraid server (around 8 TB in total). It's all the usual stuff in three backup session: 1-The flash drive 2-My cache (with appdata) 3-All my data (this is the most important stuff) I’m planing to backup monthly to two external usb3 drives, a 8 Tb and a 4TB and move them offsite. I come from Hyper Back on DSM and I’d prefer to keep away from terminal lines. So far CA backup / restore and Duplicati looks good. Do you have any advise or recommendations on one or the other of these to solutions?
July 17, 20196 yr Author Okay I've just learned that I can do a manual flashdrive backup from "Main - Boot Device - Flash - Flash Backup". I don't know if there is anything to gain with a scheduled backup of the flashdrive but this solution works for now.

November 22, 20214 yr Author Hi @TomEand @notoryous! I'm sorry I haven't replied but here it comes: I played around with my Unraid server in 2019 but the only good solution to make a complete backup back then was Duplicati. I wasn't easy to understand but I had a GUI. I didn't get the backup to run perfectly and the speed was very slow when copying to a USB3 harddrive. In the end I closed down my Unraid server and returned to the Synology system. I've been running a DS918+ since 2019 and upgraded to a Ds220+ as a main NAS for plex, Unifi docker, 3 cameras with Synology Surveillance System and files server for 4 macbooks and a Mac mini. I've created automated backup to a DS215+ and everything is running great.
